The real question about paying for the pro features is how does it compare to the alternatives. Quite frankly the free version is (IMO) already more than sufficient to work as a replacement for Dropbox, et al. The advantage of the pro features is mostly about making management easier, so that is what you are paying…

I've been a big supporter of Sync since the beginning but I am disappointed by the 10 sync'd folder limit. The promise was no already free features would become a paid feature in 2.0. Well 1.4 had unlimited sync'd folders and I'll probably be sticking with that (if not moving to an alternative).

An Asus tablet. Specifically, the first Asus Transformer, running Android 3.0, like the second big Android tablet after the Xoom. Pretty slow, buggy as hell, the software wasn't ready for primetime, the keyboard ended up being useless for my use case (and changed for the 2nd and 3rd versions, so I couldn't sell it…

Mine gets used almost exclusively for looking up actors I vaguely recognize in movies/tv shows.

Same here. I wish I had just bought a new laptop. I never use my tablet. I use my phone or computer instead.

A tablet in general.

Best way to get yourself ready for a change is to do some travelling beforehand. Travelling will break you out of your daily patterns and put you in a change ready mindset.

I tried for awhile to install it on my home server, and use it like I do Dropbox, but the sync is nowhere near as smooth, and the lack of a web interface is a deal breaker for me. Even just using it to backup my mobile photos gets the sync wrong, or doesn't sync at all at times.

There's some kind of rules similar to ^ but I THINK it's a large $$ amount (and I think that because I've never reached it).

Even as a seasoned software developer, this is the same curve that happens all the time! I'm at the end of 6 weeks of learning Angular JS + Bootstrap.

Dining out on Valentine's Day is the romantic equivalent of going out shopping on Black Friday — it's a hectic, overelaborate and anticlimactic way to bend to the whims of retail. (We're simply going for a picnic in the park — serene, beautiful scenery, and we get to instill it with romance in our own way.)

self-control, altruism, and a healthy dose of social conscious?

What's to stop me from blurring out someone else's house?

I wear my tux to the cotillions and delightful 1950s cocktail parties I attend in my mind.

They go with the tux.

I would hardly call a tux an "essential". At least not for the vast majority.

Congrats on not reading the article.
